MACC RECORDS FIVE MORE STATE­MENTS

PE­TAL­ING JAYA: The Malaysian An­tiCor­rup­tion Com­mis­sion (MACC) has recorded state­ments from five more wit­nesses over the Sabah Wa­ter De­part­ment cor­rup­tion scan­dal. This brings the to­tal num­ber of wit­nesses to 28 since the scan­dal broke last week. “Those who were ques­tioned are own­ers of com­pa­nies be­lieved to be di­rectly in­volved in in­fras­truc­tural pro­jects by the Sabah Wa­ter De­part­ment,” MACC said. The case is said to be the largest cor­rup­tion and power abuse case MACC has ever en­coun­tered.
